2022 GAMES

A spectacular start to the season in which the Flames manage to break their 14-year-long curse of not winning an opener with 5 goals to the Avs' 3. But will this luck last?

Oof. Not a good one. My prevailing memory of this game is going down to the concourse to get a Tim Hortons hot chocolate; that should tell you something.

I almost forgot I went to this one, and not because it was bad! It just wasn't on the list I had in front of me! My first time seeing Crosby, who was a big role model to kids I didn't like in school.

Getting harrassed out of your own home stadium after a one goal loss is NO FUN. I'm no fan of Oilers fans. At least the Halloween vibes were fun, yeah?

Close one. Don't remember much at this point, since it's all been erased by the heavily Irish man behind me yelling "Fuck the Devils!" with the same cadence every time.

Good job team, this time winning that one goal game! ...This one goal game thing, this is gonna be a pattern, isn't it. For better or for worse.

Tkachuk is back! Sorry for the booing, man, it's strictly business. Nothing personal. ...I think all of said booing might have been throwing him off his game a bit, when you think about it.

Keeping that momentum going, even through a slight losing scare! ...Trouble is, of course, as trouble does — right around the corner.

There's that trouble I was talking about; the fifth straight loss in a row for my poor beloved Flames, who are quickly turning into the league's sad wet cat. Or sad wet horse? Either way, not on fire.

Saying goodbye to 2022 Flames hockey the same way we started it — a matchup against the Canucks, where we manage to cinch the win; and are treated to a NYE fireworks show after the fact! Phew.
